    Wow, Che, is there something you want to tell us?

    BTW, even I wasn't anticipating lowering the bar this far this fast.

    People are intimidatingly and unfairly armed with information to back up their opinions.

    No sweat! I'm here now!

  • Mark Thomas,

    degrees are no indication of aptitude. I once watched two engineering students fail to open the easy-peel wrapper on a block of cheese.

    That's not fair, we were too busy optimising beer funnel flow rates. Cheese wrapper peeling 301 is an optional elective anyway.

    Awesome!
    I have an honours degree in maths, hate cricket, and was lambasted for the large amount of grammatical and spelling errors in my first post.

    We're perfect opposites...STANDING TAAAALL, ON THE WINGS OF MY DREAMS! RISE AND FAAAAALL, ON THE WINGS OF MY DREAMS!*

    You say that now, but what did Nimoy follow up his I Am Not Spock book with?

    Large number of grammatical errors. Oh, I'm getting a lovely warm feeling already.

    Bonus points for the reference-spot, dude.

    We used to say that you guys got to graduate once you could actually say 'box girder bridges' instead of just grunting 'keg'. For balance:

    How many art students does it take to change a lightbulb?
    One, and they get six points for it.

    Lovely to see you here all official-like :-)

    Thank you Judi. You can be my fangirl if you like, the position's vacant.

    Now I've got that running through my head... does it have words? The theme to Bonanza does.

  • David Haywood,

    Nice work, Emma! But I can't believe (and I think I speak for Jolisa here, too) that you're not going to exploit your children for cheap entertainment purposes. What sort of a writer are you?

    From memory, he recorded an album.

    His version of 'Proud Mary' has to be heard to be believed. Just don't listen to it stoned: you'll die laughing.
